About Off Book Antics
​
Off Book Antics aims to inspire teens all over the Pioneer Valley through theatrical opportunity. Through rehearsals where our members are encouraged to play, take risks, and make mistakes, we help artists our age unfilter the capacity of their individual voice. Whether or not they go into theatre as a profession, the lessons learned last a lifetime. When rehearsal room confidence is applied to the advocacy for underrepresented and marginalized narratives, our generation's future is stronger as a whole.
Mission
Meet the Founder
Howdydoo! I’m Caraline Casey, and I still wear my Shakespeare with sunglasses shirt from middle school. I want to help others learn to proudly wear their heart on their sleeve regardless of prior exposure to the stage. We kick off each rehearsal with a group check-in to foster the vulnerability needed for all to reach creative discovery. In a highly collaborative setting, where we collectively choose material relevant to the ensemble's beliefs, I hope to create an outlet for you to tell the stories you've never gotten to tell before. If you feel like it’s too late to dip your toe into a new passion, scratch that idea and audition for Off Book Antics!
